What’s going on out on the land?
Ants, Oleic Acid, and Breakfast Cereal
I found a strange post on reddit, about Ants dropping off their dead at a couple of pieces of cereal that were placed in the colony. I had to understand why the Ants might have been doing this.
I ended up doing some research, and this is what I found.
Tracking journal for June 13, 2021. Orangeville Sandpits
The first popsicle sticks were going in and I was coming up from behind everyone. A couple of people mentioned some details about some possible tracks, and others noted that they could see sand. I circled around trying to get a better view myself, but I couldn’t see much at all. Then the sun came out from behind the clouds, and the tracks appeared, with the popsicle sticks placed carefully behind the imprint of the heels. Two things clicked in that moment. I recognized the gait pattern in the popsicle sticks, and once that happened, I started to see the tracks.
